If you are travelling to have a good time at the snows in Perisher Valley, the Hotels are quite competitive.
You will find cheap and decent accommodation for prices averaging $349 - $949 from couple to 8 people.
Be aware of this hotel thou, had a really bad experience and the reviews will tell you why to keep away http://aalberg.com.au/.
Perisher is just amazing…I would recommend the ski lessons thou if you are a beginner to make sure you enjoy.
The snow gears can be hired at various places but my suggestion will be the BP servo on the way in COOMA has a gear shop RHYTHM.
This place is not expensive and you will find all gears at decent price for every member of family in all sizes.Here’s the link https://www.rhythmsnowsports.com.au/.
